Chop and Steele may well be Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher's biggest and most successful creations. Growing up together, Pickett and Prueher realized that they both had the same likes and dislikes and the same sense of humor. As adults, they decided to pursue comedy as a career, and while their methods were unconventional, they met with (very) modest success.
Then they came up with an idea, wrote press releases and sent them to TV companies, the duo created some unique and yet non-existent characters with some extraordinary abilities. Perfect for the morning show on your local TV network, but also perfect for comedy because his talents were just as invented.

This caught the attention of viewers and for a time they saw the funny side, however one television company did not, so Chop and Steele created by Pickett and Prueher became a matter of taste. Chop and Steele is also the title of the documentary about their rising careers and brief brush with fame.

So, gathering all the VHS tapes they could find, they soon began a tour called The Found Footage Festival where they premiered these weird and wonderful tapes to a paying audience and they loved it.
The problem was that while all this was going on, the very nature of comedy was being debated on a national scale.
